u.s., germany, russia, china, and iran -- an agreement was reached in 2015 whereby iran would pledge never to seek, acquire, or develop nuclear weapons in exchange for gradual relations, relaxing of u.s. sanctions against iran. the agreement known as the jcpoa contains strict limits on iran's nuclear program that would gradually relax over 25 years. iran's pledge to never acquire or develop nuclear weapons was permanent. as was its commitment to abide by the inspection protocols of the international atomic energy agency to ensure compliance with that fundamental pledge. the jcpoa was not perfect, but it carefully preserved the ability of the u.s. and other nations to continue sanctions against iran for its other activities, and it offered an opportunity for the first time in four decades for the u.s. and iran to communicate through a -- an established diplomatic process. as the trump administration took office, the president pledged to undo this diplomatic deal, the jcpoa. the nations that

u.s. should not be at war with iran and that indeed, another war in the middle east now would be catastrophic. but i recognize that some of my colleagues may have a different point of view. so i speak in the hopes of forging a consensus on at least one issue, and that issue is this. if there is to be a war with iran, it should not be initiated by this president or any president acting on his or her own. it should only be initiated by a vote of congress following an open and public debate in full view of the american people. every member of congress should vote and then be accountable for the question of whether another war in the middle east is a good idea. the demand for congressional accountability is constitutionally required in the unique constitutional framework that we have. we pledge to support and defend the principle. it's up to congress to declare war, not the president. if we engage in a war, the odds are high that young american men and women will be killed or injured. some wil
